Oh, shoot, me too, @carmencita ! That's been the most tragic part of this for me, personally. But my loss is nothing, in light of what others have suffered at the hands of these monsters. The loss of my childhood memories is a minor loss, for sure, compared to what the victims and their loved ones have lost.

But in light of how far reaching this is, and how long this pernicious cruelty has had a hold of our civilization, it is quite probable that every entertainer thrust onto our TVs and radios is a mere chess piece in this sick game. I watch almost nothing anymore. Almost.

I don't know about you, but I don't look at anything the same since I took my red pill last November. A couple of weeks ago I stopped at a rest area. Actually, it was a plaza with the gas station and little store. Outside of the restrooms there were two little girls just standing there by themselves. They appeared to possibly be sisters. I stopped in my tracks because I noticed those two kids just biding their time, all alone and vulnerable. They were so cute and innocent. So, rather than proceed where I was going I decided to wait until the parent came back for them. I waited across the hallway from them. They did not even know I was waiting for their parent to come out of whatever bathroom the parent was in. But those kids were so vulnerable . I didn't say a word to anybody. I did not make a big deal of it. I should have. Eventually the father came out of the restroom and said, "Come on girls let's go." As he walked by me I said, "Excuse me. I just want to let you know I stopped to keep an eye on your kids. I was very worried for them being out there alone in the hallway." He thanked me. But still, I thought, "what a dumbass. The Podesta brothers would have loved those two kids." That's the way I think these days. Everyone's vulnerable. It is so sad.

I sometimes worry about even the kids who appear on America's Got Talent. That show used to be one of my family's favorites. We loved it because it was upbeat and positive and hopeful. Now when I look at the child performers I realize that they are just sitting ducks for the predators who run the entertainment and music industries. Those scummy producers and Moguls are probably salivating as they see the new fresh meat trying to make it in the entertainment industry. It is revolting to me.

Sorry for the digression into an unrelated topic. But this thread reminds me of the recent Justin Bieber stuff in the news. Apparently he not only has had an up close, personal view of this stuff. But, apparently, he has taken a stand against it. I have seen several videos in which it is reported that Bieber refused to sacrifice a child and abruptly cancelled his tour shortly thereafter discussing that in a church group. Surprisingly, there are still plenty of videos on YouTube that referred to this breakthrough on Bieber's part.

God bless Bieber and all the victims of this depravity. I really, really wish the best for all of you citizen investigators and I wish this ship would finally see the light of day and be exposed in its entirety.

Thanks for letting me riff. I've had a long week....

Comey is such a crappy actor, too. (Almost as bad as Hill and Bill). I had to stop watching any hearings that he was a part of because I swore if I saw that man say "Lordy" one more time I was going to throw my TV and/or computer out the window. It wouldn't have taken the body language lady to figure out he was lying through his teeth while under oath.

You are not just a citizen give everyone a break. And again this columnist is as I stated a former FBI agent and you know it.

If you know Binney then you know why he resigned. Binney has made numerous appeal stating NSA has the documents and calling the blame Russia game a joke even authoring a lenghthy Intel report documenting how it was an obvious inside leak and the FBI and NSA knew this and lied.

The DOJ did not come out and admit anything about unmasking. Read the fine print of who sued for the records and what was stated exactly.....be careful with your words because they will be put on blast. Who funds "American Oversight" and what was said?

Ask Devin Nunes if Montgomery is a con since he has had at least two additional NSA step forward.

You're a fucking idiot.

Says the person who has the facts wrong.

It is well documented that she deleted over 30k emails.

And I'll repeat myself: "The State Department or the FBI or Judicial Watch are not entitled to Hillary's personal emails. Only work emails were required to be turned over to comply with the Federal Records Act." Of the emails that were deleted another 15-17K WERE REVIEWED BY THE FBI.

so incompetent that she used a private server to send classified information (which she denied). Then you trust her to pick and choose which emails contained classified information?

This proves you are wholly ignorant of the issues at hand:

Issue 1

She would have had the exact same Federal Records Act issues if she used her @state .gov email address instead of a personal server because at the time she served her emails would not have been automatically archived because the software used at State was incompatible with a federal archive.

Issue 2

She would have had the exact same classified info issues if she used her @state .gov email address instead of a personal server because both were nonsecure systems

If you were not ignorant of the issues, your sentence would have read Then you trust her to pick and choose which emails were work-related and which were personal?

The very idea that you would support a criminal, who denied their criminal activity,

Nope.

The woman committed a fucking crime that many are sitting in jail for.

Absolutely nope.
This was a talking point among Clinton haters for months and months, but it was completely false. For one, thing no classified documents passed through her email server. Second, for the emails that had classified info this often originated with career diplomats and other officials. Dozens of other people would have been guilty of the same crimes as her if she was in fact guilty, not all of them at the State Department. The issue was not like in Petraeus case willful evasion of the rules. There would be no expectation that she was being sent classified info on that email address (the expectation would be the same on a @state .gov email) because there was a completely separate secure system called SIPRNET for recieving actual classified documents. You can't email from SIPRNET to state.gov or or any other email on the regular internet. The issue was not mishandling classified documents, it was classified info slipping into regular emails. This is a problem common in the State Department and other agencies. In fact, the State Department has had a long, long battle with other intel agencies about what is properly classified since

A, they deal with open source intelligence like newspapers and other sources (there have been times when what the DIA considered Top Secret signals intelligence was known to folks in the State Department not through signals intelligence but other means like reading public reports or going to a public conference.

B. they have to talk to the public and other governments about these issues. Overclassification is a problem everyone admits goes on, but nothing changes

C. Some things even if publically known are inherently classifed. Sending an email like "Hey did you see this article in the New York Times yesterday?" would be classified at the very top level, if it dealt with a drone strike in Pakistan even though the article was public. Tweets from Wikileaks could be Top Secret.

In fact, the very most secret emails on the Clinton server were classified as TOP SECRET TSI/SAP. But they didn't jeopardize our security. They were vague emails about drone strikes. They were from diplomats and CIA folks who knew they were talking on the unsecure system, so the emails were very vague, and didn't mention drones or cia or Pakistan or any names or places. That is they were from people who sincerely believed they were complying with the classification rules. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/emails-about-drone-strikes-are-at-center-of-hillary-clinton-investigation-2016-06-09

For years State has argued with other agencies about what should be considered classified. State lost that battle, the new inspector general disagreed and ruled with the Intel folks, but there was a genuine and longstanding debate over classification that predated Clinton at State. It was not a cut and dry issue. One of the most famous emails involved public talking points sent through the classified system. There was no simple way to separate the unclassified paragraphs from the classified paragraphs. How not cut and dry were these decisions? Before they checked Clinton's emails, they ran a sample looking for ones with classified info. They came up with 4 emails. Later when the whole thing was said and done, they admitted that they made mistakes on 3 of these emails.

The truth as Comey said was no one was ever prosecuted for what Clinton did and it would have been a double standard against her to prosecute her. This is why the Comey memo before the interviews were completed is going to be a nothingburger. It's common for prosecutor/judges to write up a first draft and get their thoughts on paper before every bit of evidence is considered. It's not a judgement, it's a draft and it can easily change if new info comes in, but by the time Comey put his thoughts on paper, the FBI had the facts and nobody was getting charged unless they lied in their interviews. You can have conduct that violates policy, but is now illegal.

Drain the swamp isn't a moto, it's a fucking expectation.

Well, you've been suckered.

650,000 emails from Hillary Clinton? or are you mixing and matching here.
